DP/30 @ TIFF '13: Prisoners, director Denis Villeneuve

[@flippert0]

22:30 Q: "What will be the style of the movie?" DV: "It's very really simple. I'll chose the ugliest place and then I'll put Roger Deakins in it". Love this quote :-)

[@rozig5014]

"I love you" lol love this guy

[@grungelovr5798]

That guy is so humble and he's a real genius. I was stunned at the end of Prisoner. Now I can't believe he will make Bladerunner II. Im dying to see this! Denis c'est la crème de la crème.

[@killerreviewscom]

Currently my favorite director.

[@lisafoadstock1452]

PRISONERS HAS INSPIRED ME LIKE NOTHING ELSE. Im barely passable as a "writer" yet this film has shaken but affirmed pretty much every single one of my worldly/spiritual beliefs. What Prisoners specifically inspired me to think about. is a film or narration, that has no dialogue, perhaps screenplay even? where no dialogue is written. The only things that exist in this "Script" or whatever.. being theme's and symbols, etc, if I am able to further this harnessing of subconscious energy that Jake Gyllenhaal so eloquently describes in HIS version of this interview. I believe u do not need a single line of actual dialogue. to make an entire story work. Finding the right actors for each personality and theme; however, a whole different story haha. Noone steal this artsy-as-fuck idea from me i swear to God I WIll hunt u down. I am not sure yet if improv'd dialogue exists in the interpretation of this story or idea yet. but It has definitely inspired me like nothing ever has. and Im sure this is only the beginning.

Very generous interview. Denis is a lovely guy

[@dena92]

"I love you" hahaha :D

[@GROOVYEG]

Jesus Christ. Im only 10mins into this interview and hes blowing my mind. hes bsaically reiterating my own thoughts and also presenting me with profound new ones * *swoon* *cinema as a way to envelope yourself a little more into the negative aspects of our personality?! Wow. Where has this guy been all my life! I cant believe I have not yet met a person who has observed me and my personality and who hasnt told me about this man and his works. This was 5 years ago? every word out of his mouth is in pure essence so fucking beautiful i could shed a tear.

[@chrisedouard3930]

this movie reminded me of zodiac but better

[@emerson_vettel]

agree

[@migueltaranto9679]

Agree

[@tommyw_25]

What a great man! Can’t wait to see Dune.

[@maurizio034]

awesome how on some words you can just hear his Quebec accent. i live in montpellier south of france, and i have to say the french canadian accent is awesome, well funny in some ways, but awesome

[@IbeJigsaw]

lol... French Canadian's have the English equivalent to a dumb southern drawl.

[@maurizio034]

the same even worst could be said about British Canadians concerning their French

[@trolllesupersayen9704]

Toft M De toute façon c'est reconnu que les français parlent parfaitement anglais (sarcasme), juste la façon de prononcer wiiii fiiiii est toujours digne d'un anglophone (sarcasme). Mais au moins Rémi Gaillard vie dans la même ville que toi donc +15 points

[@danashane]

Denis had his cafe today!

[@Snake711]

Prisoners is an impressive piece of cinema. Thank you for this

[@dp30]

I haven't seen Ozzization. Missed it in Toronto. I look forward to having the chance to catch it here. But I can't really discuss what I haven't seen.

[@savedfaves]

Watch from 12:40 it's very interesting. It shows that behind every good movie is a great mind.

[@michaelchr4239]

yes, it's fascinating

[@plantemor]

This man .... omg...

[@aphg77]

How great. Denis Villenueve, I admire you.

[@T1t3Uf]

not really, since it's written "prisoners" in the title of the video

[@RawLu.]

Amazing story that Blows Minds ;-)

[@eganyi743]

Genius

[@brunomedeiros2065]

Great director, and looks like be great person.

[@TheOzzization]

I love this channel, don't get me wrong, but in the beginning he makes a reference to Enemy has a cinema experiment and I got myself thinking - FUCK YEAH experimental cinema + Saramago "double plus good"! ... well, sorry about that, internet does this to people.

[@jackdolah2031]

Nolan and villeneuve is the gold of Hollywood ❤️

[@TheOzzization]

Enemy premièred also in TIFF'13... you just lost a good opportunity to be quiet.

[@mbmurphy777]

Best guy working

[@RaoulPathak]

[@lanslater]

it wasnt as I expected it at all but grudgingly I think he did a good job on Bladerunner 2049 I mean grudgingly because I wanted 2049 to be as iconic as the first bladerunner and 2049 kinda failed in that way

[@T1t3Uf]

Relax man... I wasn't trying to be bitchy at all. Sorry if you got me wrong. I just said that since the title of the video says "prisoners" it's not that uncommon that they didn't talked about "Enemy", even though, I know, it premiered too at TIFF. You might say that they missed an opportunity to talk about "enemy", maybe, but I think the interview covers pretty well the movie "prisoners". Have a nice one!

[@GROOVYEG]

Who manages his films facebook pages? Is there a way to contact Mr.Villeneuve. I must speak with him immediately! PRISONERS HAS INSPIRED ME LIKE NOTHING ELSE. Im barely passable as a "writer" yet this film has shaken but affirmed pretty much every single one of my worldly/spiritual beliefs. What Prisoners specifically inspired me to think about. is a film or narration, that has no dialogue, perhaps screenplay even? where no dialogue is written.

I am not sure yet if improv'd dialogue exists in the interpretation of this story or idea yet. but It has definitely inspired me like nothing ever has. and Im sure this is only the beginning. I fucking LOVE this dude. and you should all too

[@TheOzzization]

what about Enemy? I really don't care about Prisoners and in 30 min there was no Enemy questions... failed interview?

[@Nazaba09]

Ozziza the video is literally called ‘prisoners’.

[@Greg-dr2st]
